This study reviewed 189 ulcerative colitis patients, finding most were young adults (21-30) with mild to moderate disease primarily affecting the left colon. Ulcerative colitis often presents in young adults with left-sided colonic involvement.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Clinical Research

Background:

  • Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Understanding the demographic and clinical characteristics of UC patients is crucial for effective management.
  • Previous studies highlight varied disease presentations and patient profiles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the demographic, clinical, and topographical features of patients diagnosed with non-specific ulcerative colitis.
  • To identify patterns in disease severity and colonic involvement within a patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records for 189 patients diagnosed with non-specific ulcerative colitis.
  • Data collection included patient demographics, disease severity, and extent of colonic involvement.

Main Results:

  • The majority of patients (majority in the 21-30 year age group) were young adults.
  • Neither male nor female sex predominated in the patient cohort.
  • Seventy-two percent of patients presented with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis.
  • The disease was predominantly confined to the left colon in 60% of cases.
  • 13% of patients experienced total colitis.

Conclusions:

  • Non-specific ulcerative colitis commonly affects young adults aged 21-30 years.
  • Mild to moderate disease and left-sided colonic involvement are frequent presentations.
  • The findings underscore the importance of considering UC in young adults with gastrointestinal symptoms.
